Ultrasonic Sensors Product Overview
Ultrasonic Sensors Principles and Technology Ultrasonic sensors made by Pepperl + Fuchs operate with Piezoceramics as sound emitter and receiver. A patented decoupling layer in special material is used to decouple the ultrasonics to the air – an acoustically thin medium. This ultrasonic transducer is embedded, watertight, into the sensor housing, in polyurethane foam. The transducer transmits a packet of unusable sonic pulses and converts the echo pulse into voltage.
Ultrasonic Sensors Functions The principle by which ultrasonic sensors yield measurements is that evaluating the time taken for the sound to travel between transmission and reception (direct detection), or a process of checking whether the transmitted signal has been received (reflex mode). Reflex mode The following distinctions are made between types of sensor function: Ultrasonic receiver Ultrasonic emitter Switch output Through-beam sensor The emitter and the receiver are mounted facing each other.

Ultrasonic Double Sheet Detection Highlights: ■ Ultrasonic system for the reliable detection of zero, one, or two flat sheets of material lying together, preferably paper ■ No TEACH-IN required ■ Insensitive to print, colours, or reflective surfaces ■ Material weights from 10 g/m2 up to over 2000 g/m2 ■ Very broad materials spectrum, from very thin papers through very heavy paper to thin sheet metal and plastic or metal foils ■ Vertical or tilted installation of the sensor possible over the sheet level ■ Si
Applications: ■ In printing machinery, where the ultrasonic double sheet control protects the complex mechanics from damage and prevents a second sheet from lodging in the machine, by avoiding the situation in which two sheets are drawn into it. Additional application through series 18GM35: ■ In the control of adhesive films in label making machines, in which the application of the films to a carrier material can be detected and counted.
